What is present date for the inauguration of the President of the US as set by the 20th amendment?

January 20

January 20 is the date set by the 20th Amendment. It moved the start of the president’s term from March 4 to January 20, so the term ends and the new one begins at noon on that day. This shortens the lame-duck period after an election, ensuring a quicker, smoother transition to the next administration. The amendment also clarifies succession rules if the elected president can’t take office.
